Dubai’s real estate market set a record in the third quarter of 2025, with sales of AED170.7 billion ($46.5 billion). During this period, the Dubai Land Department and DXBinteract certified 59,228 property transactions, representing a 17.2% increase in volume and 19.9% increase in value over the previous year.
From January to September 2025, Dubai had 158,200 transactions of AED498.8 billion ($136 billion), a more than 20% increase over the previous year. Apartments dominated Q3, selling 49,370 units for AED94.3 billion ($25.7 billion). Plot and commercial property transactions also increased, totalling AED36.1 billion and AED4.2 billion, respectively.
September alone saw 20,127 sales totalling AED54.3 billion, carrying the city’s rising trend into the fourth quarter. Off-plan projects accounted for over 75% of all transactions, demonstrating investor confidence in Dubai’s expanding development portfolio.
Experts credit the constant growth to actual end-user and long-term investment demand, not speculation. The market’s strength is additionally supported by government efforts such as Golden Visas, faster registration systems, and infrastructure projects related to Expo 2020 legacy.
Dubai’s strong Q3 results reaffirm its status as one of the world’s most dynamic and resilient real estate markets.
